In a power plant scale fusion reactor, a huge amount of thermal power produced by the
fusion reaction and external heating must be exhausted through the narrow area of the …

This article describes the DEMO cryostat, the vacuum vessel, and the tokamak building as
well as the system configurations to integrate the main in-vessel components and auxiliary …

The nondestructive determination of the neutron-irradiation-induced embrittlement of
nuclear reactor pressure-vessel steel is a very important and recent problem. Within the …

Single crystal Fe thin films (∼ 250 nm) were grown on MgO substrates and irradiated with
2.0 MeV Fe+ ions at 10 and 50 dpa, and the defect evolution was studied using high …

The DEMO tokamak architecture is based on large vertical breeding blanket (BB) segments
that are accessed from a maintenance hall above the tokamak and are vertically replaced …

This paper presents the study of the forces and moments expected on the European DEMO
divertor, due to the fast electromagnetic transients associated to plasma instabilities events …

The use of nondestructive magnetic signatures for continuous monitoring of the degradation
of structural materials in nuclear reactors is a promising yet challenging application for …

Damage can have a strong impact on the fatigue performance of bulk formed parts for
example produced by cold forging and sheet metal formed parts for example produced by …

A primary failure mechanism of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel is the embrittlement
caused by fast-neutron irradiation. In this work, neutron irradiation tests were performed on …

The irradiation embrittlement of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel is the top priority for
nuclear power operation safety. In this work, neutron irradiation experiments were performed …
